Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The psychologist is most likely using a behavioral approach, as they are directly observing and counting the child's aggressive acts in specific settings. Projective assessments involve interpreting ambiguous stimuli, sign assessments involve looking for signs or symptoms of a disorder, and unobtrusive assessments involve gathering data without the subject's knowledge or awareness.
